Here's a thank you to Ketsui Tasogare who reviewed Protect! It really made my day :)

"Pound it!" Ladybug and Chat Noir shouted in unison. They hurried back to the victim, who was crying. After a few minutes of talking, the duo learned that she had been bullied a lot in school, and that she had finally snapped.

"Do you need one of us to take you home?" Chat Noir asked kindly.

"No, I live not too far from here. I can walk to my house. Thanks for saving me," the girl replied. She got to her feet, threw her arms around each superhero, and thanked them for rescuing her. She also apologized for giving them a major inconvenience. After the two had assured her that it really was no trouble at all and they were happy to help, she walked off.

Beep, Beep

Ladybug clasped a hand over her ear. "I have three minutes left. I should probably get going." She turned to yoyo away.

"Ladybug!" Chat called after her. "Um, I wanted to tell you… I'm leaving Paris tomorrow."

Ladybug paused in shock and looked over her shoulder to where Chat Noir stood. "You're going away?"

"Y-yes, My Lady."

"And when are you coming back?"

"In four years, My Lady."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier today? Or weeks ago, for goodness sakes! There were a hundred opportunities when you could have told me! Anyway, will you come visit, Kitty? I can't battle every single akuma on my own," said Ladybug.

"I'll do my best," Chat Noir replied.

"Chat," Ladybug whispered. She wrapped her partner in a hug. "I'm going to miss you."

"I shall miss you as well, Bugaboo." Chat Noir took her hand and kissed it.

Ladybug smirked at her partner. "Shall?"

"What can I say, LB? I'm your knight in shining armor."

"You're so annoying," teased Ladybug. "Why am I dating you, again?"

"Because you love me," replied Chat Noir with a smile.

"I do."

The couple raced to a safe hiding place and detransformed. They went to Marinette's house next, and shared cookies and played video games until Adrien finally had to leave.

Marinette wiped tears from her eyes as she made Adrien promise to text her every day. "Bye, Chaton."

"Bye, My Lady."
